\ FATAL MISTAKE.

THE Clere1ond (Ohio) Press,
of February 23d, 1888, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great coInmotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
,been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
In attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as .
faint "an gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. AL prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave the patients
life an operation was justif-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence Of DR..
ruckerman, DR.. Perrier, DIR.
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and Dr.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration for
this was what the disease really
was}, she would have been hv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for DYSPEPSIA or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class OF
cases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.

ton to Move No Train-What the
General Opinion Is.
NO TRAINS MOVING.

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Dec. % All coal and
freight trains on the Mahoney and
Snamokin division of the reading road
have been stopped, and the men are firm
in their determination to move no traffic.
Owing to the Christmas holidays there is
little or no coal at the mines for ship
ment. The general opinion in this re-
gion is that the strike now in the Lehigh
region and this one will be adjusted In
aow being given to the Lehigh mines
will necessarily be stopped.
COAL TRADE DEAD.
READING, Pa Dec IS On last Sun
day over $50 loaded coal cars made up
into fltty.three trains, passed through
Reading for the Schuy kill coal region for
Port Richmond and other points south of
this city. To-day not a single Car was
moved and the coal trade Is practi-
cnlly dead. During the forenoon
over 100 railroaders whose trains
were run on sidings north and
south OF this city passed through Reading
bound for their homes, which are mostly
in the coal regions. Orders to strike
were received early this morning, and as
far as the railroad crews were concerned
were promptly obeyed. Immediately
thereafter General Manager Mcleod tele-
graphed orders that every engine
attached to trains lying on the
sidings should be housed and
guarded, and this was promptly
done, the engines being run to Reading,
Pottstown and other points. The COM
panv employs at it's shops in this city
1000 men, but they will not go out, as
they claim that they are not included in
the orders of the Knights to strike, but
the leaders expect such In order very
soon, SO IS to more efectuallY
cripple the company. A meet
ing CT the Rsilroaders Assembly
was held here to-day and while no def
mite action was taken the prevailing SEN
timent was in favor OF standing by the
strikers. Agents of the Reading company
to day actively canvassed this section for
men to I'll the places OF the strikers aud
enable them TO resume the movement Of
trains on Tuesday morning Master
workman Harm.n Of this city to-day sent

SORGHUM SUGAR.

SweDson's Right TO a Patent for the Dir
fus,ng Process Questioned by Senators.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Is The contro-
versy which has been pending since last
spring between the sorghum manufactur-
ers of Kansas and the Commissioners Of
Agriculture will be settled by the Uaited
States courts if the Attorney General OF
the United States shall be Of the opinion
that q suit can be maintained against
the holder OF the patent for the diffusing
process. There is no subject in
recent years which has excited
so much general interest among
sgricul,urists of the sorghum producing
belt as the patent for the manufacture Of
sorghum sugar by the diffasing process
which was granted to one S yens0n. This
gentleman is an expert employed by the
bureau of agriculture for the purpose of
experimenting as to the best methods Of
making sugar from sorghum cane. He
was paid his salary bY the govern
ment, furnished with quite an
expensive plant for his experiments
by the government, and all OF the
appliances by means OF which his
discovery was made were furnished at the
expense Of the government. While en-
gagged in these experiments Swenaa1dfs-
covered what is known as the rs ces4Qf

diffusion. It is process which se
greatly reduces the cost OF the mann
tureof this sugar, and it is claimelk1&t

country. SWenson having discovered
this process under the circum-
stances indicated, made application for 8
patent and obtained IL within a period OF
time SO short as to surprise those who
have been accustomed to await the tedi-
Gus delays of the Patent Office. While
other inventors have been required to
wait months for the granting of the ap-
plications for their patents, Swenson
scarcely had to wait days, and he imme-
diately began to require the sorghum
producers in the western states to pay
MIN royaity for the use of his patent.
The farmers Of Kansas are in open rebel
lion at this. The Commissioners of Agricul-
ture has denounced the patent, claiming
that the invention of right belongs to the
government, as it was discovered by gov
eminent talent, at government expense,
and in government time. Commissioner
Colman protested against the patenting
OF this invention, but his protest came
too late. Senator Plumb has succeeded
in securing the passage through the Sem
ate OF resolution which directs the At
torney- General to bring suit to cancel the
patent of Swepson II in his opinion such
suit can be sustained.

The Ingenious Device OF q BibuIous Went

For more than year the brandy that
stands in the cut-elsss decanter on the
mahogany sideboard Of West Walnut
street residence has mysteriously disap.
peared. The occupants of the house are
q young married couple, and the hus-
band is q notably temperate man. The
brandy was kept in the dining room for
the use Of guests only, and yet day efter
day exactly one plat was missing from
The decanter, even when no guests were
being entertained. The servants were
suspected, and in the course of their two
years. housekeeping no less than TINT y
domsstics have come and gone.
Suspicion even attached to the butler,
'hough he was On old family serVitor Of
irreproachable character. The secret has,
however, transpired during the past
week, and the thief is found to be no
other than the lady OF the house herself.
The history of the csse is this: A little
more than year and a half ago she had
lescence the physician prescribed sherry
WING. Ii was ubiquitous piScCtiPtIOu,
for her father had died from the effects OF
liquor, and her brother Is now q no.
tOrlous man because CT his Incorporate
habits.
When she recovered she at first felt no
temptation to indulge in any stimulsnt,
but from time to time, when she felt q
little fatigued, she had 20 hesitancy in
taking "just drop" Of brandy. At about
this time she made the acquaintance OF
two other women in society, when she
discovered that they, too, had acquired
the habit of "tippliDg." She went to q
prominent jeweler in the city and had q
pint flask made of hammered silver, with
place for little scraps to pass through,
saying, as she ordered it, that it was for a
friend who was going to travel.
On Monday night of LAST week her hus-
band came home rather late and, having
occasion to move his wife's hustle from
one chair to another, he was struck with
It's weight. He turned up the gas and
examined 1t. Strapped on the inside was
the silver flask and the secret WAS out!
He Immediately questioned his wife and,
in her alarm ct the discovery, she told the
whole story, saying that she would take
the brandy, put it in the hssk and carry
it to the house OF one of the other ladies.
They spent the morning in drinking and
removed all traces of the debauch by a
nap in the afternoon. This certainly is
an ir genious utilization Of the deformilg
hustle.

Gan old engineer told me the other day
that locomotives were habitual cranks
why he said, 'only year ago two en-
gines came from the same shop, were
made from the same castings, were
put together by tie same workmeD,
but one of the two engines wouldn't
bulge an inca faster than Is miles
al hour, while her companion could
easily roll off 80 miles an hour under half
the steam It took to send the other engine
3 miles an hour We crowded every
pound of steam upon the 15-miler, but
40, she wouldn't move an inch faster,
although she would draw four more
heavily loaded freight cars than the eDgiue
that rolled up sky miles an hour TO her
credit. Suddenly the fifteen-miler came
10 dead stop between stations, and there
she stuck and uldn't be made to move
again. Almost at the same time the
sixty-miler, on another portion of the
road, came to dead stop also, and
she couldn't be made to move. Both
engines were drawn back to the shop,
were taken apart, examined, put together
sgsin, but no, they could not be made to
move, even under $50 pounds of steam.
Stop running they would, and step run
ming they did, although both of them are
not year old. Finally they were
broken up and sold for old junk.
1t is not always the bright,
